Wind and Snow Pass, C Zone Number Seven, Qin Tiexin took a deep breath and ended today's practice.

After taking the last pill of Blood Bead last night, he crossed his legs and ran "Cauldron Eating Art" until dawn. When he looked inside, the depths of his bone marrow had been completely filled with pale golden marrow fluid, and even the last gray-white trace had disappeared. When the blood flowed in the blood vessels, there was a faint layer of dark luster, exuding a strong vitality.

After Body Tempering Ninth Layer Marrow Replacement Great Accomplishment, Qin Tiexin could feel that his body had reached a bottleneck.

Skin, muscles, blood, bones, bone marrow - from the outside to the inside, everything that can be tempered has been tempered to the extreme. Qi and Blood rushes smoothly through the body, and you can feel the power pouring out of the limbs with every breath.

The cultivation of "Basic Body Refining Method Formula" has been completed, and the power of "Cauldron Eating Art" is growing more and more slowly. If you want to go further, you will need Cultivation Method from the Qi and Blood Realm.

This is also one of the main reasons why he decided to participate in Body Refining Master Conference. From the Jade Slip left by Duan Xuan, he learned that at every conference there will be people selling or exchanging Cultivation Method, and some sects are even willing to give out high-grade Cultivation Method as part of the conference rewards. If you can take this opportunity to get a copy of the Qi and Blood Realm that suits you Cultivation Method, this trip is not in vain.

He packed up and went out to the force measuring field.

Wind and Snow Pass There is an open force measuring field on the west side of the inner city, which is a free facility provided by the Ice and Snow Pavilion for the monks stationed there. When Qin Tiexin arrived, there were already seven or eight people practicing in the field - some were practicing boxing, some were testing Law Artifact's power, and several body corrections gathered around the corner to communicate.

The force-measuring stele is a dark boulder, about one foot high and five feet wide. Its surface is covered with fine scratches and palm prints, which are traces left by countless monks over the years. A simple formation is embedded at the bottom of the stele, which can display the force of the blow in numerical form on the stele.

No one was testing it at the moment. Qin Tiexin walked slowly to the stone monument. He took a deep breath, lowered his waist, twisted his hips, rotated his arms, and punched the surface of the stone monument.

Boom--!

There was a dull sound. The aura pattern on the surface of the stone tablet lit up, and then a series of numbers appeared.

Fifteen thousand catties.

There was silence in the force measuring field for a moment. Several physical practitioners who were practicing stopped their movements at the same time, and their eyes fell on the series of numbers. A man who was walking this way almost tripped over his own steps. After he stood firm, he stared at the numbers on the stone tablet with wide eyes.

"How much? Fifteen thousand?"

"What's that kid's background? He doesn't look very young."

"Body Tempering Peak, right... No, how can an ordinary Body Tempering Peak have such strength? I know a senior brother of Body Tempering Peak, and a full blow only costs over ten thousand."

Qin Tiexin ignored the comments around him, retracted his fist, and moved his wrist. He used about 80% of the force, Rebound The force was easily absorbed by the bones and muscles, and the arm was only slightly numb, and returned to normal after a few breaths. After Marrow Replacement Great Accomplishment, his body's ability to withstand impact has obviously reached a higher level.

He was about to try his best to punch again when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Fifteen thousand catties?"

Qin Tiexin turned around. Duan Xuan stood at the entrance of the force measuring field, wearing a dark red outfit, her hair tied into a high ponytail, and holding a long whip in her hand, as if she had just come back from outside the city and hadn't bothered to put it down. She strode over, glanced at the numbers on the stone tablet that had not completely dissipated, and looked at Qin Tiexin again, her eyes brightening slightly.

"Are you Body Tempering Perfection?"

"Yeah." Qin Tiexin nodded, "We just broke through not long ago."

"Your strength is a bit scary." Duan Xuan sighed, walked to the stone monument, wrapped the whip around his arm, took a deep breath, and punched it.

Boom!

The stone tablet shook, and a spiritual light emerged. Six thousand three hundred pounds, he nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Tiexin frowned slightly, a little strange, why is Duan Xuan's power less than half of his own?

He carefully felt the strength of Duan Xuan Qi and Blood. It should be at least Body Tempering Eighth Layer. Why is the power so low? It seems that she does not find it strange.

You know, when Qin Tiexin himself was Body Tempering Eighth Layer, his strength had already reached 10,000 kilograms.

Qin Tiexin Look at yourself. He is nearly nine feet five. He has grown nearly a foot taller since Body Refining. His skin is dark, his muscles are bulging and sharp, and he is full of explosive power. At first glance, he looks like monk Body Refining. Flowing Cloud Sect Many Body Refining monks are like him, and some are taller and stronger than him.

I took a closer look at Duan Xuan's figure. Apart from being taller than the female cultivator Qi Refining, she did not have a strong sense of power in appearance. However, out of politeness, Qin Tiexin did not ask rashly.

Duan Xuan didn't pay attention to the confusion in Qin Tiexin's eyes. Instead, he retracted his fist, flicked his wrist, and looked at Qin Tiexin with a warlike look on his face. "Let's compare?"

Qin Tiexin suppressed the doubts in his heart and nodded. He also wanted to try Duan Xuan's Body Refining's combat power with his own hands.

The two walked to a relatively empty area in the field and stood facing each other.

"Bare hands, no weapons, no spiritual power." Duan Xuan moved his shoulders and neck, "How about pure physical body?"

"Okay." Qin Tiexin said.

Before he finished speaking, Duan Xuan had already moved.

Her speed was astonishingly fast, and there was almost no sound under her feet. Her whole figure was like a dark red shadow, and she crossed a distance of three feet in the blink of an eye. Her right fist went straight towards Qin Tiexin's face. Qin Tiexin did not dodge, lowered her waist and braced herself, and met the same punch with the same punch. The moment the fists collided, there was a dull sound.

Qin Tiexin stood still, and Duan Xuan's strength was not enough to make him retreat.

Duan Xuan floated back half a step with the power of Rebound, and then came forward again. Her Movement Method was extremely fast and flexible in changing directions, unlike pure physical training., more like an assassin who is proficient in close combat - his steps are erratic, and every time he lands, he chooses the gap between Qin Tiexin's center of gravity. He uses fists, elbows, knees, and legs alternately, and his offensive is like a violent storm.

Qin Tiexin's response method was much simpler. He stood still and remained unchanged in response to any changes. Duan Xuan's punch hit him, and he just shook slightly; when his punch was thrown out, Duan Xuan had to dodge or block with all his strength.

The two fought for about twenty breaths, and Duan Xuan was still unable to break through Qin Tiexin's frontal defense, and Qin Tiexin couldn't really hit her once. Several onlookers on the sidelines watched intently, and some people whispered, "That female cultivator is so fast!"

"That big man's physical body is also ridiculous. After being beaten so many times, he looks like a normal person."

In the middle of the field, Duan Xuan suddenly changed his moves. She deceived Qin Tiexin's blocking direction with a feint, and then she dwarfed, sliding under his arms like a swimming fish. She raised her arms on the ground, flew up upside down, and intertwined her legs around his neck - scissor kicks. She exerted force on her waist and tried to knock him down to the ground.

Qin Tiexin felt his neck tighten, and Duan Xuan's legs locked his neck like iron hoops. He didn't panic, grabbed her ankles with both hands, and slowly spread them to both sides. Duan Xuan felt the irresistible force, and felt a chill in his heart. He decisively let go of his legs, did a backflip and fell back to the ground. After standing firm, he took a breath and looked at Qin Tiexin with a more serious look.

"No fight, no fight." She waved her hand, "I can't hit you."

Qin Tiexin let go of his hand and moved his neck. "You are very fast."

"There's no point in being quick, it can't break your defense." Duan Xuan patted the dust on his clothes, and said in a tone that was not depressing, "After you Body Tempering Perfection, your defense has gone up a notch higher than before. I punched you with all my strength, and you didn't even stagger."

Qin Tiexin didn't answer. He hesitated for a while, thought about it, and finally asked, "I have a question."

"Say."

"Your Body Refining cultivation level should not be low. Qi and Blood is very strong. I think it is at least Body Tempering Eighth Layer or above." Qin Tiexin considered the words, "But your strength is less than half of mine."

Duan Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. There was a little helplessness in that smile, a little funny, and an expression of "Why don't you even know this?"

"Are you serious?" she asked.

Qin Tiexin nodded.

Seeing that he was indeed not joking, Duan Xuan put away his smile and explained seriously, "Body Refining is not just one training method. The one you practice should be Cultivation Method that focuses on strength. The strength increases dramatically at each level, but speed, flexibility, and resilience only increase naturally as the level increases, and there will be no additional bonuses."

She stretched out her arm and clenched her fist. "I train in a way that combines strength and speed. At the same level, my strength will not increase as much as yours, but my speed, reaction, and explosive power will be additionally improved. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

Qin Tiexin thought for a moment, "Is there anything else?"

"Of course." Duan Xuan raised his hands and pointed, "As far as I know, the Body Refining school that is currently widely circulated can be roughly divided into six categories."

"Strength type, the main attack power, each level can obtain a power increase far beyond that of ordinary people. Most Body Refining monks are this way, Cultivation Method has the most, and the most extensive inheritance."

"Speed type, mainly attacking Movement Method and reaction, with average strength growth, but additional bonuses in speed and flexibility."

"Defensive type, focusing on the hardness and resilience of the physical body. It can withstand it better than ordinary physical training at the same level."

"Recovery type, Qi and Blood is extremely long, and the recovery speed after injury is far faster than that of ordinary people, and even the recovery of broken limbs is no problem."

"Balanced type, balanced development of various abilities, no obvious shortcomings, but no outstanding strengths."

She paused and added, "There is also a rare type - the alienated type. After practicing some special Cultivation Method, the body will have some characteristics that are different from ordinary people, such as skin hardening, bone hyperplasia, temporary madness, etc. Most of these types of Cultivation Method have side effects, and not many people practice it."

"Then your Cultivation Method is strength? Or speed?" Qin Tiexin asked.

"What I practice is Golden Sun Sect's "Blazing Sun Body Refining Instruction", which focuses on the combination of strength and speed. It uses fire-attribute spiritual power to temper the physical body, which has both explosiveness and speed." Duan Xuan said this and glanced at Qin Tiexin, "Your major Cultivation Method should be a strength type, right?"

Qin Tiexin was silent for a moment and nodded. He thought of the strong Body Refining monks on the Flowing Cloud Sect Body Refining Plaza. It seemed that the "Basic Body Refining Method Formula" given by the Flowing Cloud Sect should belong to the powerful Cultivation Method.

It seems that on this Body Refining Master Conference, I should think carefully about what kind of Cultivation Method I am looking for? Should I continue with the power type? Or combine it with other types.

The two walked out of the force measuring field side by side. Qin Tiexin noticed that Duan Xuan's steps were light when walking, and there was almost no sound when he landed. There was no heavy footsteps like ordinary physical practitioners.

He looked at himself. He was more than a head taller than Duan Xuan. With a nine-foot-five figure, strong muscles and sharp edges, he looked like monk Body Refining. His calves were as thick as Duan Xuan's waist. Walking side by side with Duan Xuan, they were like a slender javelin standing next to an iron tower.

Duan Xuan seemed to notice his gaze and glanced sideways at him. "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Qin Tiexin looked away, "I just feel that we don't look like the same kind of monks."

Duan Xuan followed his gaze and looked down at herself - wheat-colored skin, strong but not thick arms, and smooth calves. She was silent for a moment and sighed softly, "Different Body Refining Cultivation Method will indeed have different effects on the body shape."

She sighed again, "If you have ever seen a defensive monk who practices "Black Tortoise Armor", you will know what true strength means."

The two separated at the intersection. Duan Xuan reported back to the Golden Sun Sect's station, and Qin Tiexin walked to Zone C alone, still digesting in his mind According to the information he just received, he needs a Cultivation Method from the Qi and Blood Realm. He needs to know as much as possible about Body Refining Master Conference in the past few days, and he also needs to be prepared.
